The city does not admit any liability as part of the settlement with JoAnn Ernst, nor does it agree with Ernst’s allegations. The predawn raid included the use of percussion grenades, one of which hit one of Ernst’s adult daughters on the head while she lay in her bed.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Dungeness crab season in Oregon and southern Washington starts Monday at 12:01 a.m. after a month-long delay caused by insufficient meat content. The season typically opens Dec. 1, but can be pushed back to ensure better quality. A spokesman for the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission says it was disappointing not to have fresh crab for Christmas but waiting until they were nice and full was the right thing to do. Crabbers can start setting their pots in the ocean at 8 a.m. today.
